Peter Franklin Jr, First tested a Junior Kart in April 2005 at 14 years of age, This was after sevral indoor Go-Kart races.
Only 2 months Later Peter Accuired his first Go-Kart, a Monaco GP1 and a CAMS Go-Kart License. But due to illness Peter was unable to compete in his first meeting in June 2005. Peters First race in a Go-Kart was July 2005 at Ballarat Kart Club. Peter was members at Ballarat untill June 2006 when they Switched to the Geelong (Corio) Kart track, where he is still members at today. But competed at Geelong in Junior National Heavy for the second half of 2006, before probloms in early 2007 didn't see Peter race untill April, at which this stage they decided to step up to Senior Clubman, They ran in Clubman Heavy for the rest of 2007, having the motor blueprinted in Sepetember, what immediantly made a massive imrpovement, with Peter first blueprinted race finishing in 4th possition. |

|
The final meeting off 2007 was one of the highest points in Peters Carrer, finishing in the top 5 in all 3 races, including a 3rd place in race 1, narrowly missing a podium after being spun out while leading in Race 2. |
|
After a very promising end to the 2007 season, Peter entered the 2008 season with high hopes, but all it delivered was a heap of heart break on what was a great end to 2007. The highlight of the year was second overall in Clubman Heavy in the July Clubday, exactly 4 years after making his race debute. |
|
Peter will enter the 2009 Season hopping to continue on with the from he ended the 2007 season with, and put an extreamly disapointing 2008 season behind him. |
